You guys have to get the new Star Trek book The Fifty-Year Mission: The Next 25 Years, which dives into all the behind-the-scenes drama of TNG (the series and movies), DS9, Voyager, Enterprise and the Abrams movies.

You also need to add the Star Trek 50th Anniversary 30-disc Blu-ray
set to your collection posthaste for even more great making-of info. The
50th anniversary has been an embarrassment of nerd riches lately, and
we're gonna walk you through two key pieces documenting Trek's
half-century existence.

Did
you know there was another writer brought on to First Contact at
Patrick Stewart’s insistence? Or that Leonard Nimoy stopped talking to
Rick Berman over Generations? Or that there was almost a Khan prequel
after Star Trek II? We didn't either. Those are just a few great bits of
trivia we picked up from the book and Blu-ray documentary. Listen to
find out why there is life before and life after these must-have Trek
historical documents.

We also announce the winners of our Star
Trek: 50 Artists, 50 Years book giveaway and bid RIP to another Red
Shirt all the way from Delta Quadrant.

There's a lot going on, so put on your Spock-y mediation robes, get comfy and listen now to TR3!

This time out, we talk to writer, legend and OG of TOS D.C. Fontana
about her time on the classic show as well as her stint helping to
launch The Next Generation, including co-writing the pilot of that
series, “Encounter at Farpoint.” [tugs on shirt, orders Earl Grey tea,
hot]

And
then we also delve into a discussion of Fontana’s great first-season
episode, “This Side of Paradise.” You know the one -- everyone on the
Enterprise gets doused with alien plant spores, quits their jobs, and
puts on those really bland overalls. Oh, and Spock falls in love…

And
of course, we finish out the podcast with another Red Shirt. Actually,
several, but you’ll have to listen to find out who/what/how. So sit
back, ask Sandoval if he’d like to see how fast you can put him in a
hospital, and listen to Transporter Room 3!

Star Trek has given us so much in 50 years… including Transporter Room 3, so we're celebrating it old school. Yep, we're slingshotting 'round the sun with a discussion of "The Man Trap," the first Trek episode to ever air half a century ago today. Salt vampires never get old (unlike Doctor McCoy’s ex-girlfriend).

Subscribe:

We also have a special guest -- David Gerrold, the writer of the
classic episode "The Trouble with Tribbles." Gerrold also worked on the
Next Generation’s first season, and he has some stories to tell…

50 years ago today: Kirk vs. Salt Vampire

But wait! We also have a preview of Titan’s great new book, Star Trek: 50 Artists 50 Years,
which features a load of cool works based on our favorite sci-fi
classic. We’re also giving away a few copies of 50 Artists 50 Years, so
be sure to listen for your chance to win.

And as if you had to ask -- yes, we have a Red Shirt. Plural. The most we've ever had -- we're making Trek history too!

So put on your dress uniforms, watch out for hungry Tribbles, and listen to the latest ep of Transporter Room 3!
